Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for January 28, 2018

Wil Wheaton played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek The Next Generation.

Colin Ferguson has been on several shows and has been the Maytag Spokesman.

I don’t know much about Colin Ferguson, but many STTNG fans consider Wesley Crusher a “Mary Sue” (or the equivalent male name, if you must…. )

possibly a stand-in for Gene Roddenberry himself.

He’s too-good-to-be-true teenage genius, a prodigy who bests the adults at solving difficult problems way beyond his job description…

After being ignored as too young, or untrained, he too often heroically saves the day, yet remains modest.

It would kill Roy to lose to Wesley ….

and, of course, to his own wife.

Not that Roy is sexist .. but she’s … you know… a woman…

Sometimes it is better to let people think they are better than you at something (but only by a little) – then they may want to play more often.

Nerd Nirvana, if only he were also winning.

Wil Wheaton hosts an Internet show called ‘Tabletop’ where he and 3 guests play different board games. It’s a lot of fun, if you’re into board games. Here’s a link where they play Catan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3WJTlDa7oo

wil’s guest spots on Big Bang are great

WHEATON!!!

Wheaton has also done voice acting, Morningstar on Ben 10 and Aqualad on Teen Titans.
